La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Clairette Blend 2017

Medium straw yellow . Quite rich on the nose , some toasty notes with some wax and yellow fruits , citrus peel, vanilla . On the palate this is all about the texture , quite round but enough balance , blanched almonds , peach. Waxy notes . Good length . Drink now and over the next few years , in a perfect place . — a month ago

Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2005

Popped and poured; enjoyed alongside Texas BBQ on the plane home. The 2005 “Hommage a Jacques Perrin” pours a deep purple with a ruby rim; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with mostly dark fruits: mixed brambles, black cherry, animale, star anise and black pepper, garrigue and stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This continues to be ever so dense but paired admirably with the BBQ. Drink now through 2055. — 2 months ago

@Somm David T of the Hommage? Regardless, Beaucastel is a benchmark producer

Cuvée Anonyme Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

2016 vintage. Decanted (little sed) and tasted after 30 mins and 2 hours. Medium body. Côte-Rôtie nose. Smoky, plummy, spicy with decent length of finish. Slightly lacking in terms of overall depth of impression but still very nice. 6.12.26. — 9 days ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2001

This is more youthful than the 2004, yet it also shows more merde than that other Chateauneuf, medium-long finish, I marginally prefer the 2004. — 2 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, sorry, I didn’t notice the Delectable software thought this was a white CdP rather than the red CdP — corrected!!

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

Lovely sweet Grenache based fruit in an excellent vintage. Sweetness is the over riding palate descriptor reflective of the ripe vintage - red currant. A long persistent flavour profile. Telegramme is the second wine of Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe. — 20 days ago
